Both RBCs light-cured with the T2W at higher REs resulted in higher DC, increased cell adhesion and decreased eluate cytotoxicity. RBC-V induced greater cell adhesion, lower mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory markers, and higher mRNA levels of a proliferation marker than RBC-P. Wettability was the same for both RBCs. Toxicity decreased with increasing number of elution cycles. The initial eluates from RBC-P had a lower toxicity than from RBC-V. Significance. RBCs cured with T2W (delivering both blue and violet light) at higher RE had greater DCs. The greatest DC and the least cell reactions were observed when the RE was 2 >25 J/cm . © 2019 Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of The Academy of Dental Materials. increased solubility and water sorption due to the reduced 1.

  • Detection of Pro Angiogenic and Inflammatory Biomarkers in Patients With
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Detection of pro angiogenic and infammatory biomarkers in patients with CKD Diana Jalal1,2,3*, Bridget Sanford4, Brandon Renner5, Patrick Ten Eyck6, Jennifer Laskowski5, James Cooper5, Mingyao Sun1, Yousef Zakharia7, Douglas Spitz7,9, Ayotunde Dokun8, Massimo Attanasio1, Kenneth Jones10 & Joshua M. Thurman5 Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death in patients with native and post-transplant chronic kidney disease (CKD). To identify new biomarkers of vascular injury and infammation, we analyzed the proteome of plasma and circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) in native and post-transplant CKD patients utilizing an aptamer-based assay. Proteins of angiogenesis were signifcantly higher in native and post-transplant CKD patients versus healthy controls. Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) indicated Ephrin receptor signaling, serine biosynthesis, and transforming growth factor-β as the top pathways activated in both CKD groups. Pro-infammatory proteins were signifcantly higher only in the EVs of native CKD patients. IPA indicated acute phase response signaling, insulin-like growth factor-1, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-6 pathway activation. These data indicate that pathways of angiogenesis and infammation are activated in CKD patients’ plasma and EVs, respectively. The pathways common in both native and post-transplant CKD may signal similar mechanisms of CVD. Approximately one in 10 individuals has chronic kidney disease (CKD) rendering CKD one of the most common diseases worldwide1. CKD is associated with a high burden of morbidity in the form of end stage kidney disease (ESKD) requiring dialysis or transplantation 2. Furthermore, patients with CKD are at signifcantly increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease (CVD)3,4.

By homozygosity mapping, we have identified, in the 5q23–q33 region, a third locus responsible for an autosomal recessive form of demyelinating CMT. Haplotype reconstruction and determination of the minimal region of homozygosity restricted the candidate region to a 4 cM interval. A physical map of the candidate region was established by screening YACs for microsatellites used for genetic analysis. Combined genetic, cytogenetic and physical mapping restricted the locus to a less than 2 Mb interval on chromosome 5q32. Seventeen consanguineous families with demyelinating ARCMT of various origins were screened for linkage to 5q31–q33.

Lipid is stored in two major classes of depots, namely visceral adipose (VA) and subcutaneous adipose (SA) depots. Increased visceral adiposity is associated with adverse health outcomes, whereas the impact of SA tissue is relatively metabolically benign. The precise molecular features associated with the functional diferences between the adipose depots are still not well understood. Here, we characterised transcriptomes and methylomes of isolated adipocytes from matched SA and VA tissues of individuals with normal BMI to identify epigenetic diferences and their contribution to cell type and depot-specifc function. We found that DNA methylomes were notably distinct between diferent adipocyte depots and were associated with diferential gene expression within pathways fundamental to adipocyte function. Most striking diferential methylation was found at transcription factor and developmental genes. Our fndings highlight the importance of developmental origins in the function of diferent fat depots.

Enhancing efferocytosis has been proposed as strategy to treat diseases involving inflammation. Here we present the strategy to increase ‘eat me’ signals on the surface of apoptotic cells by targeting cell surface- expressed phosphatidylserine (PS) with a variant of annexin A5 (Arg-Gly-Asp–annexin A5, RGD–anxA5) that has gained the function to interact with avb3 receptors of the phagocyte. We describe design and characterization of RGD–anxA5 and show that introduction of RGD transforms anxA5 from an inhibitor into a stimulator of efferocytosis. RGD–anxA5 enhances engulfment of apoptotic cells by phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate-stimulated THP-1 (human acute monocytic leukemia cell line) cells in vitro and resident peritoneal mouse macrophages in vivo. In addition, RGD–anxA5 augments secretion of interleukin-10 during efferocytosis in vivo, thereby possibly adding to an anti-inflammatory environment. We conclude that targeting cell surface- expressed PS is an attractive strategy

We examined wound repair in Dictyostelium cells by using a laserporation, which we recently invented. We examined the influx of fluorescent dyes from the external medium and monitored the cytosolic Ca2+ after wounding. The influx of Ca2+ through the wound pore was essential for wound repair. Annexin and ESCRT components accumulated at the wound site upon wounding as previously described in animal cells, but these were not essential for wound repair in Dictyostelium cells. We discovered that calmodulin accumulated at the wound site upon wounding, which was essential for wound repair.

Glomerular development has been analyzed mainly in mice, whereas analysis of human kidney development has been minimal because of limited access to embryonic kidneys. We previously reported the induction of three-dimensional primordial glomeruli from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Here, using transcription activator–like effector nuclease-mediated homologous recombination, we generated human iPS cell lines that express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the NPHS1 locus, which encodes nephrin, and we show that GFP expression facilitated accurate visualization of nephrin-positive podocyte formation in
